Washington, July 6.?The de facto ;
government of Mexico was informally j
notified tonight through Eliseo Ar-j
redonio, ambassador designate, that
the United States welcomed Gen. Carranza's
proposal to adjust all pending
differences between the two governments
by direct diplomatic negotia- j
tions.
(Mr. Arredondo was informed pf the j
impriran government's attitude in a |
conversation today with Secretary
Lansing after the latter had conferred
with President Wilson. Later a
formal note will confirm the ambassador's
report.
Immediately after the cabinet meeting
tomorrow Secretary Lansing
plans to leave for a month's vacation.
Counselor Polk will administer the
offoirc nf ?-he state department in his
absence and meet iMr. Arredondo in
the informal discussions at which a
solution of the Mexican problems ,
will be sought.
Chance for Adjustment,
It was evident at the state department
today that officials believe an
opportunity now has been presented
out of which may come a means of
giving the de facto government ma terfial
aid in restoring order through
out Mexico. It is known that the!
pacific nature of the Mexican note
which brought the crisis between the
governments to an end is construed
here as indicating that Gen. Carranza,
besides being impressed by American
military preparations, has been deeply
influenced by friends in the United
States, by European diplomats in:
Mexico City, and particularly by rep->
resentatives of many of the Latin-,
American powers.
While the imn. uiate purpose of the
negotiations in which Secretary Lan-1
sing's note is to be the first step will
*fce the evolution of some plan for
tranquilizing the border regions, the
discussions may take on a wider
scope. There is little doubt that Mr.
Arredondo received the impression
* ^ t ?+Viof ii*!
xrom ?ecreiary iiausiug wuaj inadequate
guarantees as to the security
of American and other foreign
interests in Mexico could "be secured,
the Washington government believes 1
it. possible that the financial aid so
.greatly needed by the de facto au-i
ihorities could be found.
Has >'o Honey Now.
.'Some time ago, it is understood, a j
suggestion that the Washington gov- f:
crnment would encourage American
."bankers to go to the rescue of the de
facto government was made through
indirect channels. At that time Gen.
Carranza had not felt the pinch of
poverty which now threatens his government
with collapse. He rejected j:
the suggestion, as he believed he j
COU1U njSLUIC liuaui^iai siaumiji m bu
out foreign aid and was understood
to have been actuated by a desire to
leave himself free of any obligations I
in this regard.
Events clearly have proved the
failure of the first chief's hope to re-establish
orderly government unaided,
o3icials here believe, and with the
war abroad shutting off every other
.11 !-i i.. i_ <-1, W?
source 01 assistance, ue is muugui
now to be ready to mate proper
guarantees to secure American capital.
\ Counselor Polk conferred late to-day
with Henry P. Fletcher, designated
to be ambassador to 'Mexico, and
Paul M. Warburg of the federal re
: serve board. The object of the meeting
was not disclosed but great significance
was attached to it as indicating
that the state department had
iouna 11 convenient just at mis time
to inquire as to the probable attitude
of American bankers and as to the
'disposition of the federal reserve
board itself toward lending such aid
as might be in its power to the Mexican
government.
i
Kept a Secret
No statement could be obtained as
to the nature of the financial project
that may be in contemplation. Mr.
Warburg's advice probably would be
. sought even if the federal reserve
Aboard was in no way involved.
Secretary Lansing would not discuss
the terms of the note he will forward
to the de facto government apjproring
the suggestion for direct dipT".

(AV I,I iivfjv/viuuvuo. x w wv?*v? vuj
however, that it will lay great stress i
upon the friendly purposes of the
^United States and intimate that any i
plan of action that may be suggested,
which will insure the security of the
American border, will find ready ac-.
ceptance in 'W&shington.
Gen. Carranza's note pointed out
that the "reasonable" anxiety of the
United States for the safety of its
frontier on the one hand, and the
feeling of the de facto government on
[he other iiiat tne presence of Ameri-1!
tail iroC'p> in Mexico increases i.ioj
auses oi friction. were the q iestioiis ! (
to be settled.
It appeared probable tonig'it that. |
Secretary Lansing's replv would make j
an equally clear definition of the is-11
sue as it is seen by the Washington ;
government, thus giving a guide to (
the negotiations for their informal (
discussion of all the elements involv- 1
ei.
To Wait New Orders.
? - - _ i x i. u ~
Mr. lirreaonao saia lumgui ue
would await ne>v orders from Mexico ?
City before undertaking the proposed 1
negotiations. He added that he did i
expect to leave the question of ar- 1
ranging credit for his government to <
Dr. Alfredo Caturegli, Gen. Carrana's 1
financial agent at New ork. It is be- <
lieved here that the question of con- i
siructive measures to stabilize the <
Mexican government will come up be- J
fore the conversations have progress- 1
ed very far. The Washington administration
is understood to be as firmly
convinced as ever that the only proper
and efficient cure for the distressing
condition of its southern neighbor
must be found within that country,
not through intervention. At the
same time a cure for the lawless con- 3
ditions in the border 'States must be
found before the United States can '
feel justified in abating in any de- 1
gree its preparations to protect its
frontier by force of arms.
There is no question that the Mexican
government will contend force- 1
fully for the withdrawal of American
troops from Mexico. Since the pur- *
pose to compel tTieir withdrawal has
~Vi/Ntct/NTTAV* aAR la
uytsn. auauuuucu, uw n c?ci, uuiviata
do not look for another deadlock on
that issue. President Wilson is said to
he ready to order the troops out
promptly when he has any assurance
that it will not mean merely a re- 1
newal of the conditions that caused J
them to be sent in. But no plan of J
action now agreed upon can be based
upon an agreement to withdraw them.
Mobilization of the 'National Guard *
i
continued to go forward today and -
the State soldiers are certain to get ^
valuable experience upon the border
before they are released from the (
federal service. Just how long that c
will be can not be predicted with ac- 1
curacy.
Events in Mexico will determine
that.. Publication today of Secretary c
Baker's order that members of the ^
National Guard with dependent fam- r
ilies be discharged from the service
m
was the first sign at the war department
that, tension on the border had
relaxed. It is regarded as making' r
unnecessary any legislation on the! t
subject of relief for soldiers' families.
Further reports of the return of s
American refugees from -Mexico p
reached all government departments.
State department officials anticipated -
tnat many now wouia aesire to go
back at once. Every effort to dissuade
them will be made. d
